Over the weekend, I cashed in our Blingo tickets and took the girls to see Horton Hears a Who. It was sweet and completely appropriate for small children. Sarah giggled when they drifted into the anime sequence and Amy giggled when she recognized characters. I wasn’t distracted by the celebrities behind the voices as I […]
Spring break must be over. Education issues are in the news everywhere today. Three of them have my attention. First, Knox County gets a new Superintendent today.

Based on J.J. Abrams depressing outlook on life, here’s my extremely short and simple theory on how LOST will ultimately end. Ben and Sayid will orchestrate the execution of Widmore and everyone with knowledge of the island, including Penny. Ben and the Oceanic Six will return to the island.
